Raspberry Pi WebIDE Update to 0.3.0: Debug!

We have a new alpha release of the Rapsberry Pi WebIDE ready to go. This version includes a major new feature that allows you to debug your python programs. This is a real-time step debugger, with breakpoints, output, etc.

NOTE: To take advantage of the updated node binaries, and increased speed of the WebIDE, you’ll want to do an uninstall/installation, as the binaries are configured during the installation process, so updating within the editor won’t pick those changes up.

Here’s a screenshot of the debugger in action:

Upgrading from 0.2.0 and higher

You can upgrade from 0.2.0 and higher from within the editor. If you’d like the increased speed using the new node binaries, you’ll want to uninstall/install again.

Ensure that your code is safely saved in your repository at bitbucket.org.

Login to the editor.

Click Update in the upper right.

Update should take about a minute.

Upgrading From 0.1.9 and lower

To install this new editor, you’ll want to completely remove your old editor, and run the installation script again.

Ensure that your code is safely saved in your repository at bitbucket.org.
